Ingredients:
750 ml tomato sauce
250 g Greek feta cheese, crumbled
50 ml olive oil
1 bunch spring onions
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
16 mediterranean crevettes or 16 tiger shrimp
70 ml ouzo
30 ml extra virgin olive oil
fresh ground black pepper
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 180 C/350 F/Gas 4.
Pour the tomato sauce into a large flat oven dish and pour the tomato sauce into it, scatter the feta on top and put it into the oven for 5 minutes until the feta begins to melt.
Heat 25 ml (just short of 1 tablespoon) of olive oil in a frying pan, add the spring onions, garlic and thyme; and gently saute for 5 minutes or until the onions are soft, then stir them into the tomato sauce in the oven dish. Return the dish to the oven to keep warm.
Put the pan back on the heat, add the remaining olive oil and sear the crevettes (or prawns) for 2 or 3 minutes. Then flame the pan with the Ouzo.
When the flames have died down, add the crevettes and the pan juices to the oven dish full of tomato sauce. Season with black pepper and mix everything together and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes to allow the flavours to amalgamate.
Remove the dish from the oven, and pour the extra virgin olive oil over the top.
Allow the dish to cool a little before serving so that it can be eaten by hand with crisp bread.
